Title: A short description of the YTMND. Example: "You're The Man Now Dog.com"

Domain: The domain, writing "yourethemannowdog" makes the direct link to http://yourethemannowdog.ytmnd.com/.

Check Availability*: Check if the domain is available. If not, enter a different one. http://content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/red.gif means it's occupied, while http://content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/green.gif means it's free to take.

Image: The image/animation that will be used in your YTMND. Pick a saved image from your computer.

Sound: The sound clip/music that will be used in your YTMND. Pick a saved image from your computer.

1st, 2nd and 3rd Line*: The text that will be used in your YTMND. 1st line is highest, 2nd is in the center and 3rd is lowest.

Image display*: Tiled, center or stretch. Tiled example, Center example, (stretch example needed). Stretched backgrounds often don't work, and are instead re-entered as centered.

BG Color*: Generates a different background color than black (center only). For example, FFFFFF regenerates white, 009900 generates green etc.

Image text*: If the text of the YTMND should be used as an image rather than real text.

Synchronize*: If you want the YTMND Flash Preloader be used to release the sound and image at the same time. Only availabla when using MP3s. Delay is time between image and sound start, in milliseconds.

Description*: An optional, longer description of your YTMND.

Keywords*: The keywords is for categorization in image search. For example, the first YTMND included Sean Connery, Finding Forrester, YTMND, you're the man now dog, etc as the keywords.

Image origin*: Write where you got the image, if you want.

Sound origin*: Write where you got the image, if you want.


When making YTMNDs, there's also some rules. No anime, extreme racism, hardcore porn, illegal stuff, in-jokes, and of course not any pictures of your friends. Doing that will cause most users to

it. That's NO GOOD!
